So was the global cooling fad of the 70's and the polar ice-cap meltdown scare from 1923, 1957, and 1972. Typical, I didn't ask if you stand by your comment. I don't give a sh*t if you stand by your comment. Did you get a personal memo that says you can make your ignorant and hate-fueled political comments where-ever you please around here? That would be unfair, because if you're allowed, then I'm allowed, and I so wish to make abortion jokes and United Nazi States of America statements in every thread here.

WTF is your problem? Gee, did you notice all of the impending disasters in the "up next" queue on that page's right side? It's amazing we're not all dead already. Anyone want to bet which catastrophe strikes us next? There are plenty to choose from.

Hmmmmmmmm.... Okay, what are the facts, ma'am?

Wow. It's like the 1970's again. The following is NSFW:

THERE ARE NO FACTS YET. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A TRIAL OR PLEA.

Four pages so far and no serious calls for O'Reilly's contract to be nullified? Where's the hand-wringing and spit and vinegar? What a double-standard, and a bunch of self-righteous crap. In other news...folks, you all wanted to play in the same sandbox as the big kids, this is what comes with the territory. What big-time team in a big-time market doesn't have its share of drama every year? These things will be in the rear-view mirror by the time the respective seasons start. And, not because they're athletes, but because there's big business with big money behind them. These type of things "go away" all of the time, but because not every drunken, teen assaulter is a celebrity athlete, we don't know, or care, about it.

Doesn't matter. If that is how you think, then, you're on your way to being a star in the media. HANDS UP! DON'T SHOOT! I did your job - I did more than your job. I was in the media. I know exactly what I'm talking about. Why? What if that police report is 95% wrong? Then what? And here we have the dip-sh*t Schopp, saying people are "defending" the guy because he's important to the Bills. How about people are sick of people's rights being abused by the media, how about people sick of what they're seeing is happening with the establishment out there? How about people tired of the media tearing people apart with the impatience a child has on Christmas morning?

Are you not in the media, and is that not your career goal? The threat is hear-say. It is not an established fact. There has been no trial yet. It is not an established fact that the man hit the kid. That is alleged. There has been no trial yet. You can take pretty much all of the info in that police report and toss it aside until there's a trial or a plea. Until then, you're going on A POLICE REPORT which are well known to be lacking in facts. If the Bills were to fire the guy before this went through due process, is there a chance the dude could sue? I don't know, maybe. Ever heard of the Duke lacrosse case? You think that's an out-lier?

Really? You're on track to be a star in the media, then. Back in reality-land, I train and train with teenagers in martial arts. A "teenager" can be pretty big, even a 13 year old, depening on genetics. They can also be pretty aggressive, and thanks to the socio-politics of the day, pretty fearless. In the dark, you might not know you're dealing with a youngster, especially if you feel threatened. But let's not let reality get in the way of a good narrative and 4 hours worth of flaying and scorching a person before all of the facts are established. And, Mike Schopp, you're a hypocritical idiot of the highest order. You, on the one hand, complain about people being naïve, ignorant, stupid, and lacking facts to help form your opinions. But here you are, you ass, on the air doing that exact thing.

He already has a Cup. I think he doesn't like the idea of being placed in a teaching role, or, perhaps worse, he knows Buffalo needs veteran D and is holding them over the barrel for it.

Feel the Snark, let it flow through you.

WNY Polaks represent!

Again, Eichel's shifts are too short. When you have Excalibur, you use Excalibur.

Guys, I think Reinhart will be fine.

If you think about, watching it via the online feed is very much like being at a Sabres game in person over the past few seasons.

OH NO! HE'S A BUST!

Samson is beastly looking compared to this time last year.

I wonder if McDavid seems as happy in Edmonton as Eichel seems to be here?

Agreed. He has a huge stride.

Reinhart's shifts have been starting near the end of Eichel's.

Eichel and Samson's shifts are really short.

Goodness, I think I'll be typing this a lot, but, Eichel...

Right? Jebus.

To his new best bud.

I squealed like a school girl! Although I wish I were at the game. Had planned to go, then said screw it, and regretted that decision this morning.
